454 The Same Disease, the Ninth Prince Made a Stupid Move
Neither the Ninth Prince nor Feng Qingchen took Princess Anping's matter to heart. The Ninth Prince mentioned this matter only because he hoped Feng Qingchen would not suffer any hardship on her part and he also wanted to remind Feng Qingchen that there was no need to endure it just because he was "ill".
He is not "sick" for the rest of his life; his "illness" will be cured in a few days.
Feng Qingchen didn't think so much. She felt cold in her heart because of the Ninth Prince's attitude towards Anping. In addition, she was not feeling well and was becoming increasingly listless. She wanted to go home, but the Ninth Prince refused to let her go and kept asking her questions. Feng Qingchen was very impatient, but she had to endure it.
Feng Qingchen was particularly easy to talk to today. Although the Ninth Prince was not in a good mood, he couldn't help but say a few more words to Feng Qingchen. But after thinking about it, the Ninth Prince found that he and Feng Qingchen had nothing to talk about except business.
Unable to find any topic to talk about, the Ninth Prince had to bring up the competition: "Are you confident about tomorrow's competition, Qingchen?" If not, he could at least help Feng Qingchen a little.
"To answer Uncle Nine, no." Feng Qingchen suppressed his impatience and said respectfully.
The Ninth Prince was not unaware of her. How could she be sure of a good etiquette contest? Her family did not have a nanny to teach her noble etiquette. Her etiquette was good, thanks to her having a good mentor.
Her mentor holds a high status internationally and is often invited to attend seminars in Europe and the United States. Sometimes he would take her with him, and before she goes, his mentor would send an etiquette teacher to teach her social etiquette and even aristocratic etiquette, saying that she must not embarrass the Chinese people in front of foreigners.
The fact that she could behave without being rude among the rich and powerful and in front of Wang Jinling was all thanks to what she had learned in her previous life. However, no matter how well she learned, she could not compare to Su Wan.
Su Wan's every move was just like in a textbook, and her actions were more or less casual. There was no way to cheat in an etiquette competition. Feng Qingchen really couldn't think of how he could win, so he spoke the truth calmly.
Unfortunately, Feng Qingchen had performed too well before, and the Ninth Prince did not believe that Feng Qingchen was not prepared. He said nonchalantly: "Just do your best. If you need any help from me, just ask." Seeing Feng Qingchen's surprised face, the Ninth Prince added: "If you lose, I will also be embarrassed."
Feng Qingchen rolled her eyes secretly. She wanted to say that if they were afraid of losing face, they should not have accepted the competition with the Su family on her behalf. However, she had a headache and was in no mood to say more to the Ninth Prince. She lowered her head silently and prayed in her heart that the Ninth Prince would let her go.
Feng Qingchen being obedient has always been what the Ninth Prince wanted, but seeing that Feng Qingchen never argued about anything and had no opinions of her own, the Ninth Prince felt annoyed. This was not like Feng Qingchen.
But Feng Qingchen looked so docile, and he knew where to start. This kind of Feng Qingchen made the Ninth Prince uneasy. He always felt that Feng Qingchen seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.
The Ninth Prince did not want to let Feng Qingchen go back. After thinking about it, he thought of a good place to go: "Qingchen, the Second Prince's wound is a little uncomfortable. If you have nothing to do today, you can go out of the city with me."
The Ninth Prince thought that it shouldn't be a big problem for him to ride out of the city on horseback.
Changing the dressing? Feng Qingchen felt annoyed. Didn't Xiling Tianyu have someone to change the dressing for him? Besides, it had only been three days. Why did he need to change the dressing?
But since the Ninth Prince had given the order, could she refuse?
Feng Qingchen smiled bitterly, ignoring the slight pain in his knees and the still dizzy head, and nodded.
The favor from the Ninth Prince is not so easy to receive. He helped me block Princess Anping once, so I have to repay him once. I'd better keep this token as a pendant.
Feng Qingchen touched the token hanging around his neck and turned around woodenly.
The Ninth Prince made very thoughtful arrangements. He first arranged a gorgeous carriage and let a person with a figure similar to Feng Qingchen sit in it and return to the West Courtyard. Then he and Feng Qingchen, escorted by the palace's secret guards, rode on horseback to the valley.
Feng Qingchen already had a slight concussion, and the group was galloping on horseback, which made his condition even worse. When he turned over to dismount, he felt a pain in his knee and almost fell off.
"Miss Feng, are you okay?" The guard beside her was quick to support Feng Qingchen, thus preventing her from falling to the ground.
The Ninth Prince turned around and saw this scene. He glanced coldly at the guard who was holding Feng Qingchen. The guard was so scared that he quickly let go of Feng Qingchen's hand. He wanted to kneel down and apologize, but was stopped by the Ninth Prince's eyes. The guard had to lower his head to reduce his presence.
In an instant, he was supported by someone, and then thrown away. Even Feng Qingchen was startled. After barely standing steady, Feng Qingchen did not dare to thank the guards behind him. He secretly pinched himself, forced himself to cheer up, and followed behind the Ninth Uncle.
The Ninth Prince frowned even more tightly. The more he looked at Feng Qingchen, the more he felt that she was strange today. However, Feng Qingchen gave off a faint sense of alienation. He approached her several times but was avoided by Feng Qingchen with excuses.
The Ninth Prince was doubtful. Seeing Feng Qingchen's impatient expression, he regretted bringing Feng Qingchen to the valley. He secretly decided to go back and find out what had happened in the palace today.
Feng Qingchen remained silent all the way. After arriving at the cabin, he greeted Xiling Tianyu and said nothing. He silently washed his hands, put on gloves, and changed the medicine for Xiling Tianyu.
Xiling Tianyu was very surprised. Why did Feng Qingchen come today? Didn’t Feng Qingchen say that the medicine would be changed after seven days?
Just when she was about to ask a question, she found that something seemed to be wrong between Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince. Xiling Tianyu quickly suppressed his curiosity and let Feng Qingchen change her medicine without saying a word.
There was silence throughout the whole process, and the Ninth Prince became more and more certain that something was wrong with Feng Qingchen today.
Although Feng Qingchen felt a little uncomfortable, her movements of changing the dressings were still neat and tidy, without being affected at all. The Ninth Prince felt relieved a little, as it seemed that Feng Qingchen was not seriously ill, but was just in a depressed mood.
The Ninth Prince was born not knowing how to comfort others. He just kept it in mind and taught Princess Anping a lesson later.
After changing the medicine for Xiling Tianyu, Feng Qingchen asked the Ninth Prince to arrange someone to send her back. Her head was getting more and more painful, but the Ninth Prince did not agree. Instead, he asked Feng Qingchen to walk with him.
Although it is autumn, the valley is still lush and green due to its terrain and climate. Although there are no birds singing or flowers blooming, it has a unique flavor.
Walking on the valley path and smelling the scent of green grass can make people feel relaxed and happy. Of course, it is also suitable for chatting. The Ninth Prince brought Feng Qingchen to the valley with the idea of traveling in the valley with Feng Qingchen. Anyway, there will be no effort in tomorrow's competition, and the Ninth Prince believes that Feng Qingchen can do it.
The Ninth Prince's intentions were good, but it was just the wrong time. Feng Qingchen wanted to refuse, but the Ninth Prince did not give her the chance. He took Feng Qingchen's hand and walked towards the path in the valley.
Feng Qingchen was able to keep up at first, but after taking only two steps, he felt dizzy and his stomach felt sick. Feng Qingchen didn't care about anything else and quickly pushed the Ninth Emperor away, leaned against a tree, and vomited...
Her stomach felt uncomfortable and her head ached badly. In this valley, the cold light blew on her and Feng Qingchen felt that she was about to lose her balance. In her heart, she cursed the Ninth Prince from beginning to end. It was fine if he was "sick", but he had to force herself to get sick too...
